You were military, could you say whatever you wanted when representing the Army? Sgt Lemon Had restrictions on what he could or could not say. Mr lemon had very few. Do you even grasp what I am trying to convey? Should I post slower?

Sgt Lemonhead lost his legs in service to that flag, why won't he stand for the anthem?

oh but the popularity contest aspect cannot be ignored lol jesus christ people.. have some pride

Quote:

“As a team, it was not a protest of the flag or the anthem. I personally don’t believe the anthem is ever the time to make any type of protest,” Roethlisberger said. “For me, and many others on my team and around the league, it is a tribute to those who commit to serve and protect our country, current and past, especially the ones that made the ultimate sacrifice.”

Here's what the game operations manual says regarding the national anthem, according to an NFL spokesperson:
The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.

Honestly captain Tele, do you think what Trump said was unconstitutional when he said it as the president of the United States?

the current 2nd amendment argument is that Trump can't fire or imprison you for what you say

that isn't happening.......that isn't a thing

this isn't North Korea or Russia

but for Trump to suggest that the bull**** in the NFL and ESPN is worthy of being fired over..........as it was for every other pundit and broadcaster who spoke up on some controversial political position........isn't an active violation of any of that.

it was his opinion. he isn't pushing it. it is his ability to also speak freely. he has that right as well

what he said was a comment and at best a suggestion. it holds absolutely no authority or weight (as we can see by how defiant they are)

when he starts arresting them.......or incarcerating them for this......then that would be unconstitutional

until then it isn't.......

he is merely reminding us that only some positions are protected.......only some people, of certain protected classes, are allowed to speak their mind without being lynched and lampooned for it on public stage

this is what has to stop imo

or we need to accept that we have first class and second class citizens (and I don't mean just Trump and Hillary types)
